Thanks to continuing efforts by BC bird expert Rick Toochin and his co-authors Don Cecile, Louis Haviland, Allan Russell, and John Toochin, twenty-one more articles on rare bird species in BC are now available on E-Fauna BC. These include articles on Blue-footed Booby, Mexican Violetear, Pink-footed Goose, Spoon-billed Sandpiper, Purple Sandpiper, Black Vulture and Eurasian Kestrel. These are detailed expert-prepared articles that document all reported occurrences of these rare species in BC, their overall biogeography, and much more.
